Why does stress build up at transform boundaries?

Physics
1 answer:
Rina8888 [55]3 years ago
3 0
Tectonic plate edges are not smooth. At transform boundaries, plates move against each other, but since the plates aren't smooth, lockups form. Stress is built up as both sides continue to steadily push against each other until there is sudden movement, where both plates quickly slide until they lock up again. This is what causes earthquakes.

A 34-m length of wire is stretched horizontally between two vertical posts. The wire carries a current of 68 A and experiences a
il63 [147K]

Answer:

7.28×10⁻⁵ T

Explanation:

Applying,

F = BILsin∅............. Equation 1

Where F = magnetic force, B = earth's magnetic field, I = current flowing through the wire, L = Length of the wire, ∅ = angle between the field and the wire.

make B the subject of the equation

B = F/ILsin∅.................. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: F = 0.16 N, I = 68 A, L = 34 m, ∅ = 72°

Substitute these values into equation 2

B = 0.16/(68×34×sin72°)

B = 0.16/(68×34×0.95)

B = 0.16/2196.4

B = 7.28×10⁻⁵ T
